Carson City Sheriff’s Office receives public safety Joining Forces grant
The Carson City Sheriff’s Office has received a $43,000 grant from the Nevada Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety, to support the agency's participation in the Joining Forces traffic safety campaign for the coming year.
Joining Forces is a high visibility, multi-jurisdictional statewide effort to increase safety on Nevada’s roads by increasing enforcement and awareness of traffic laws.
The goal is to reduce crashes and save lives by focusing on impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belts, speed, and pedestrian safety.
Thanks to this grant award, the Carson City Sheriff’s Office will be able to team up with other area jurisdictions for a number of Joining Forces events from October 2017 through September 2018.
Law enforcement personnel will continue to enforce traffic safety laws year-round as part of their commitment to reduce crashes and save lives.
Whether you’re the driver, a passenger or a pedestrian, the Carson City Sheriff’s Office reminds everyone to make safety a top priority.
